The Challenge Guest Designer--Take 3

Happy Monday! I can say that now that I'm mostly retired & don't have to go to work--haha! My month of guest designing for The Challenge is going so fast. I'm really honored they invited me to create with them. This week's inspiration has so many options with colors, quilts, hearts, stripes--whatever suits you. After considering lots of possibilities, I opted to pull out my COPIC markers to make blended stripes. This is a technique I learned from Nicole's PTI MIM 4 years ago. It's really simple & fun. Plus it makes me feel a little less guilty that I have lots of COPICS & have never learned to color--haha! The design of the sentiments in the Penny Black set from 2009 has always appealed to me & the thank you fit perfectly in my design.

The card is on it's way to a blogging friend & I hope she likes it. Can't wait to see this week's gallery & hope you join in the fun. I'm also entering AAA Cards, Curtain Call & Stamplorations sketch. Thanks so much for taking time to visit my blog.Edited to add: Also entering Fusion.

Looks to me as though you have no worries re: your copic coloring. You've done a splendid blending job on the wonderful festive stripe of the border on this beautiful CAS card! Yay for your approaching retirement. It's been great at our house. Think you'll love it. TFS & enjoy your week.

If a lottery came my way, I'd be retired in a nanosecond and playing cards all. day. long. *grin* Another brilliant card that showcases your copics in fine rainbow-fashion, captures the inspiration photo wonderfully and fits the sketch challenge marvelously! Another Greta-favourite...hugs~c
